🌬️It's like mid-January out there!
🧣Hope everyone is bundled up. Freezing temps (mid-20s to low 30s) and bitter wind chills -- in the teens and low 20s -- across the D.C. region.

This is a great story that may even be better than imagining that he was the detective. Hats off to the 15 year old Pedro aka The Fedora Guy.

I am sad to report that the dapper man wearing a fedora isn’t the investigator on the Louvre case. He is just “a passerby” …
Is this dapper man going to crack the Louvre heist case?
Is he even real? The internet had many questions after a photo began to circulate.

This is not good but predictable nonetheless with what has been going on in Ukraine.

This is really sad. The visitor center is an amazing resource and is clearly used by not only the immediate community but from across the DMV. They do model rocket launches once a month, the only place you can actually launch model rockets this close to the Capitol.

The smallest acts may have oversized effects on someone's life. Over time, everyone will accumulate countless harsh words, hurtful experiences... but also small kindnesses, moments of support and inspiration. Live honorably, and fill the lives of those around you with the latter.
